Here's some pics to show the progress so far, a project between myself and Joycey (from here and other places 
) and another mate called Trev 
2006 Z4 M roadie on 123k miles with seemingly original everything underneath (except for BC Racing coilovers)! Initially replacing the 17 subframe bushes and to deal with the leak on the input seal of the diff. Now we are underneath scope creep is setting in and may be dropping the gearbox as there may be a slight weep on the output seal (or it's coming from the engine, so probably gonna poke around that for a while).
Everything coming off is being grit blasted and either powder coated or painted with black Hammerite. Got some exposed areas under the boot floor needing a good wire wheeling and rust proofing.
Just gonna throw some pics here, have a full write up elsewhere - not sure if I'm allowed to link :?
Into the garage she goes.
Up on the axle stands
Subframe down on the floor. Took about 3 hours to get to this stage removing the under braces, panels, exhaust, prop shaft and all the other things in the way!
Failed RTAB on both sides
New rear discs and pads on order
Diff going off for full rebuild including all bearings and seals and possibly clutch packs if needed.
General crustiness
Handbrake assembly and cables
Pulling bearings
